    I bought a IR 1" tire gun 10 years ago and it's been the best gun. $675 is what I paid. I oil it every time I use it with marvelous mystery oil and never have a problem.

    Enjoyed the vid, Mr Wes. Bear in mind this is the pot callin the kettle black, but Tim's looking like he's sitting too far from the table, then eating till he hits. Just funning, Tim. It was a thing my Dad used to say, come turkey dinner. Measure out 6" and eat till ya hit.

    The CP tire gun is one of the best out there and the Real Deals book from Napa is an awesome price! The one from Horrible Freight hits hard but it just don't last, same with the IR model. The CP gun has a harder hammer and the others have a faster softer hammer, tried them all in the tire business.

    Wes/Tim- I would highly recommend the following practice-At my work, and the tire shops I have to occasionally visit, they take a tire spoon, and use it to pry the tire off the ground and help turn and work the tire onto the hub. I would hate to find out you guys got hurt trying to "manhandle" a wheel off or on the truck, They're heavy, and that causes problems.
    Also Wes - I highly recommend Dunlap's, they don't seem to fail as often as other tires, and seem to wear a little better in my experience. I am just a company driver, but to me it seems like they are able to take more-without the failures the others incur. I figure I've done over a million miles, and that is my 2 cents worth. I'd recommend wide singles for you, but given your application...., I just don't know....

    Do you not balance truck tires? Also do they ever set a certain torque? Or just when the impact stops? Seems with some of these guns you could strip threads that way...??

  • @BaybrookEnterprises
    @BaybrookEnterprises 10 років тому

    I agree with the safety about airing the tires. My neighbor nearly died while filling a large truck tire when it blew off the rim /rim blew apart. It gave him severe Alzheimer's in his 50s. after years of physical rehab he could walk but always had severe memory problems. I had a motorcycle tire blow off once. Had my head been where Tim's was it would have killed me. Or I would have suffered the same fate as Lawrence....

    I used never seize on the outer nut of the double bud nut style as the outer nut always locked up on the inner nut! but I did use it on single nuts on aluminum wheels studs and center area where the steel hyb meets the alum. wheel. I used to load an 11r24.5 radial tire mounted on a steel bud wheel and toss them over the tailgate of a 20 ton dump truck. now I have back problems.

    • @bigtrucker26
      @bigtrucker26 10 років тому +1

      I had a roadside for a steer once, 6 miles from the shop that came out, cost about $800
      Recaps run about 350, new's about 4-500 to start labor can vary, and that is for standard sizes/applications... A good used Recap can run you $250

    • @heavymechanic2
      @heavymechanic2 10 років тому

      $30-40 is typical to replace a tire in a shop... Service calls are expensive, expect $200 labor to put a tire on roadside. Depending on the tire, a cap will run 350+ and a virgin drive tire around $500. Continental is a cheaper tire and I put a bunch on trailers, its reliable as Wes showed us.

    ever thought of getting a tire cage? they are scary as hell when you get a bad tire and it blows up during inflation

    • @lukestrawwalker
      @lukestrawwalker 8 років тому

      Cages are good safety equipment, but they aren't used as much as they were back in the split rim days... the one piece rims nowdays are a LOT safer.
      We used to have several cotton trailers built on old 40's and 50's truck frames that used 5 or 6 bolt hub "Budd" type wheels, usually 7.00-20, 7.50-20, 9.00-20, or 10.00-20's. They were all split rims-- some had solid or slit rings that hammered on around the inside of the rim edge, some joined in the middle.
      We had one mounted one time where the ring blew off the rim-- luckily it was in the cage because when it blew it left a perfect impression of the ring in cage tubes all the way around.
      When I was in mechanic's school we saw a split-rim tire inflated til it exploded with a dummy on top. Kinda gets your attention.
      Ya still have to be REALLY careful, and if you CAN use a cage, you SHOULD. But for those of us who don't have one, a hose leadout from the stem and a remote valve is the BARE MINIMUM equipment-- never stand in front of a tire having beads seated.
      Later! OL J R :)

    Arent those tires regroovable? I thought most semi tires can be grooved.

    • @bigtrucker26
      @bigtrucker26 10 років тому

      You don't regroove them, you can "recap them", where as the remaining tread is ground off, and new belts are applied with a new tread casting, onto the original tire casing. Reputable recappers can safely do it so that it will last, and they inspect the casing (remains of the original worn tire) for damage. But there has always been a lot of bad recappers out there, and between them and low air pressure (by neglect or damage), that is the source of those "gators" (truck tire treads), you see littering the highways. You cannot by Federal DOT Mandate use Recaps on steer tires in the USA, they consider it to be Unsafe for Public Highways. You can use them anywhere else, but not the steer.

    • @Puckgrinder85
      @Puckgrinder85 10 років тому

      bigtrucker26
      Actually you CAN regroove them, it says right on the tire casing if it is. Typically there 5/32 or a bit more of rubber between the bottom of the tread and the actual casing of the tire. You can cut new grooves or follow the old pattern, they make machines for it as well.

    • @bigtrucker26
      @bigtrucker26 10 років тому

      It's the ole' school way of seating a bead. You spray starting fluid into the tire-and wes was good enough to show a little safer method of running a stream away from the rim to ignite.
      To seat a bead, you often need to supply a burst of air pressure to force all the bead surfaces together at once to create a seal. The ole' school method uses the simple mechanic of a chemical explosion to create the pressure wave. You must immediately there after supply air to the tire, as the air remaining in the tire is heated and will contract, potentially creating a sufficient vacuum to break the bead seal. The more commonly practiced method is to use a burst of compressed air from some kind of air cannon, usually a 5 gallon portable tank with a large ball valve and pipe to blast the air into the tire at the bead. The cannon method is the current practice, and standard, due to the fire explosion dangers, also nicely displayed by wes, in the form (in this case) of singed hair, and nails.
      Now that wes is investing in more equipment he will likely (in the next couple years) decide to acquire on of the air cannon bead seaters. Until then, this method is sufficient to get the job done. It works on all tubeless tires of all sizes, and has been practiced for longer than wes has been around ;P , it was the way to do it. But safety regulations evolve, and some practices just don't generally cause enough problems for everyone to walk away from them because they work. You can even see Mythbusters did a episode once, and it was one of the confirmed "myths", not necessarily recommended, but it works.

  • @Brad1962Fisher
    @Brad1962Fisher 10 років тому +1

    I had a large air tank mounted in my service truck and a large ball valve and farm style coupler and it was mounted 18 inches off the ground, I would roll a semi tore or any tubeless tire up to that large valve, put my clip chuck on the fill valve and pop that 1 1/2" valve open and blast the tire onto the rim.

    • @bigtrucker26
      @bigtrucker26 10 років тому +1

      Most tire installers, for commercial tires, take a modified 5 gallon portable air tank (like you see for filling tires at the auto parts store...), put a 1 1/2 to 2" ball valve, with a pipe that has a crushed end that reduces it to 1/2" wide, by whatever the diameter expands to. And do the exact same thing, they are commercially sold, and widely used. The starting fluid trick is becoming a dying art, over safety concerns....

      @Brad1962Fisher 10 років тому

      they had a Cheetah blaster system and a large adjustable for 22.5 and 24.5 semi tires at the shop where I worked out of! I made up the system with a 20 foot 1 1/2" hose with a 2" ball valve with a flattened pipe so I could air up tractor, Combine & earth mover tires, it hooked up to my 60 gallon air tank on my service truck.

  • @injectorrick3700
    @injectorrick3700 10 років тому

    Be real nice if the tires were balanced and proper torque on the lugs. And a cage would be nice or put a loader bucket on wheel. I'm just that way with tires and wheels. Safety was pounded in my head in a fleet shop for years.

    • @bigtrucker26
      @bigtrucker26 10 років тому

      It would be nice to balance, and use a torque wrench, but common commercial practice doesn't include those steps. Neither is a cage common practice, even though they are becoming more and more common to be installed in shops, and service vehicles....

    • @injectorrick3700
      @injectorrick3700 10 років тому

      True. It's more of a shop thing. That 1 inch impact can do a lot of damage. We stopped using them on our firetrucks when steel rims were cracking and studs breaking off. Of course is doesn't help when the truck runs over curbs and medians and pot holes at top speed.

    • @bigtrucker26
      @bigtrucker26 10 років тому

      Rick Watrous I suspect that is more a cause of damage than the gun. Just the compressive power of the gun shouldn't be that powerful. I suspect you either had fatigued parts, or just plain defective ones. Also the rims and studs you were sourcing may not have been properly spec'd for the application. I'd lean more toward that than too strong of a gun.... I know a lot of fire departments are strapped for cash, but it usually pays off to invest in quality, hd parts. I don't know, nor claim that you guys intentionally would get inferior parts, but the reasons for the fire trucks, require the dependability that require better parts...
      respectfully

    • @injectorrick3700
      @injectorrick3700 10 років тому

      It's been 20 years, but now that you said that, we did replace all the rims on the trucks back then because of cracking. But we did go back to using a 3/4 impact to zing them on and finished up with torque wrench.

    • @super6954
      @super6954 10 років тому

      same here on tire safety. I still got the picture in my college notes of the splat mark of a guys head, on the tire shop ceiling where the tire blew out and put him up 20ft in the air. I don't have the cage here but use a big loader and front bucket as the safety catch. A 6ft or more clip on hose on the inflaiter's a good thing to.
      Not a fan of either in tires , guess like using it for starting it's ok in small moderation. it can take a few weeks for the effects on the rubber to show up if using to much though, through heat damaging the rubber if over done.
      I Worked with a guy in a machinery repair shop. He used to do heavy truck tires while I did the AG ones. seem to remember him opening and putting bags of brass type shot in the tires to balance them when he did it.

    So....your going to be sure to keep your truck out of the sun now right? (to slow down the chines tires from dry-rotting) Hope you got them from a dealer that will be around a year from now. By the way, I recently read of a problem encountered of unauthorized Chinese knockoffs being exported into the country where the company whose name was on the tire said..".we don't warranty counterfeit tires." If I find the link...i'll be back with more info.
    This sentence will help you find the link via google: “The Pegasus Advanta SUV tires you tested … were not produced by any authorized vendor to American Pacific Industries; who owns the trademark ‘Pegasus Advanta SUV’ and the hardware used to produce those tires.”
